About this blog

Loosely translated, Ukraine means "borderland," a fitting description of a country that, until August 1991, existed as an ever-shifting spiderweb of political boundaries between Russia, the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Poland, Romania, Germany Hungary, Lithuainia and a few other entitities no longer on any map.

Here are a few notes from twenty days in Ukraine in the spring of 2006.
